Jakarta Adjusts to New KRL Schedule as Gapeka 2025 Takes Effect
Starting February 1, 2025, PT Kereta Api Indonesia (KAI) implemented the latest Grafik Perjalanan Kereta Api (Gapeka), bringing meaningful changes to the KRL Commuter line schedule. The adjustments, aimed at improving service efficiency, have sparked mixed reactions from daily commuters, affectionately known as “anker.”
On the first day of the new KRL schedule,passengers like Ipah (44) and Salma (26) shared their experiences. Ipah,who commutes on the Rangkasbitung – Tanah Abang route,was caught off guard by the changes. “For a long time waiting for the train. Just found out that today there was a change in the schedule when I heard the announcement,” she said at Tanah Abang Station.
The extended wait times forced Ipah to adjust her routine. “Earlier in Sudimara, I was able to go to the toilet first.Usually, I never went to the toilet. It’s been a long time to go to the toilet first, and when I finished, there was a train,” she added.
Salma, another commuter, faced similar challenges. ”Usually, it goes up at 8.27 WIB,” she noted, expressing her surprise at the altered schedule. Like Ipah, Salma now plans to leave earlier to avoid delays.

Arifin, another commuter, expressed a more optimistic outlook. “If it’s not for me, because I can manage time, thank God this. But I haven’t tried it too. Only today, as today is actually a holiday right, maybe later, maybe Monday can, Tuesday feels for significant changes or not,” he explained when met at Tanah Abang Station. Arifin’s ability to manage his time effectively has made the transition smoother, though he acknowledges that the true impact will be felt during weekdays.
